But in another current thread somebody says that Ainge is obsessed with slow unathletic bigs, and the consensus around here is that he likes athletic guards who can defend but not shoot. Seems to me that he likes all kinds of players and drafts who he thinks can be the best player. Most of those guys that you listed were great second round picks. Maybe you prefer Orien Green, Gabe Pruitt, Bill Walker, and JR Giddens.

Ryan Gomes, Big Baby and Leon Powe were pretty solid for the spot they were picked. Sully is too when he's in-shape.

Gomes and Davis had NBA careers, which is an accomplishment for anybody, and surely a second round pick. Powe played a role in the Finals, then his body gave out. Good picks.

Hunter we lost I think in an expansion draft? Good player. Only one who could hold his def position in the post against JO in the playoffs that year. Hate that Carlyle called him a goon or whatever in the post game. I get working the refs, but the kids interim coach wasn't even strong enough to stand up for him much, and didn't play him again. I think he had a career in Israel or something. Not a bad pick.

The fact is we are finally getting to see what Ainge does with Awesome picks. It's looking good right now. He's had a lot of garbage picks in the past that are difficult to hit.

When your picking in the 30's your gonna be stuck with less than ideal talent. All the elite height, weight, length, athletes are gone right away. So you have 6'6" power forwards left that went 20ppg 10 rpg in college that are to small.

What is interesting is we are finding out he does indeed LOVE 6'6" to 6'8" super athletes wing's, that are usually gone at the top of the draft.

And I'm pumped we are now Stacked with these type of athletes. He Offered the farm for Winslow, very next year He takes Brown third, Now he selects Tatum, signs Hayward, we have Crowder and Semi pick #37 is for sure An NBA player in my eyes.

I'll throw in that Ainge brought in Shelden Williams for a hot second in 2010 and brought in Brandon Bass, though those guys weren't drafted. But maybe I'm projecting.

Those two are much better than Patrick Obryant and Mikki Moore though!

I don't know that Shelden Williams is much better than anyone. But I'm not making a comment about the quality of these players.
